How determined are you to succeed?

You are much more likely to succeed if your willpower is awakened and brought into play than if you are merely told to do your duty and hope for the best because hoping is not willing and though it may be indicative of a firm faith in the existence of Divine justice and foresight, yet it fails to rouse the energies so well as the earnest longing, which is supported by a determination to succeed in spite of obstacles.
